Common Fall Sports Injuries

Shoulder Dislocations or Rotator Cuff Strain. Instability or tendon damage can be caused by overhead throwing motions or hard falls.

Help to Prevent Fall Injuries

Dynamic Warm-Ups. Do a complete stretch and some light movement drills before beginning play.

Gradual Conditioning. Build up intensity slowly rather than jumping right in to full-speed practices or games.

Proper Recovery. Prioritize hydration, sleep and rest days to prevent overuse issues.

Neuromuscular massage can help you heal from an injury. Schedule a massage today.

Stay Safe During the Holidays

There’s nothing worse than spoiling your holiday season with a trip to the emergency room. Here are a few tips for staying safe during the holidays.

Most of all, have a happy holiday season with family and friends. The ER won’t mind, if you don’t need them.

Stay Safe During the Holidays

Home fires are common during the holidays, many the result of holiday lighting.

Test your smoke detectors to make sure they’re working properly and replace any that have stopped working.

Keep live trees adequately watered. If you can pull needles from a tree with little effort, the tree needs more water.

If you’re using an artificial tree make certain that it is fire rated.

Look carefully at all strings of lights before you hang them. Replace any with frayed wiring. Covering frayed wires with electrical tape isn’t worth the risk to your home.

Stay Safe During the Holidays

One of the hazards of the holidays is theft. Robberies increase by 20% in December most years, and with the uptick in crime nationwide in the past 2 years, it may be higher this year.

To protect yourself, make certain you lock doors and windows in your car and your home. Check the doors and windows that aren’t used very often–garage side doors, back doors, basement windows.

Never leave your car running and return to the house even for a few minutes. A running car is a perfect crime of opportunity.
